Wheel upgrades
I think I have a limited form of amnesia. It only affects my memory of how roads are the day after a snowstorm – so when I look at the thermometer and it says 32 degrees, I think “OH! It’s balmy out! I should go ride.” INSTEAD, I should be thinking “Oh sweet crap, the roads are going to be covered in a layer of water, which is also covering a layer of ice and slush, which is being driven through by angry pickup drivers and irritated, over worked plow drivers who have no time for gaywads wearing spandex riding in the middle of the road because the should is like a arctic warzone.”
But as everyone else knows, riding inside will slowly drive one to the point of madness, and this road-condition amnesia is probably a result of that.
I also decided to take my road bike out. And I strengthened my wheels by adding a layer of supporting road grime to the spokes!
I basically made myself a pair of ghetto R-Sys wheels:
best deal – your new wheels won’t be recalled anytime soon!
yeah that slushy side of things really blows… but… i’ll take the wet melting slush over hard bare sheet ice…
Umm…which picture is the ghetto wheel?
